Why I’m here

I come here to find my blog voice after three years of arguing and finally being banned on Dkos and FDL.

The tipping point was the Citizens United case.

As a lawyer who studied the case and a bunch of First Amendment cases before it, I could see the case was correctly decided. I could also see that a lot of lefty activists were misrepresenting both the facts and the law of the case, in order to whip up anger. I told these people they were wrong. They banned me.

I’m not one to shy away from honest debate. That’s in large part what the First Amendment is about.

I love the First Amendment. I have utter contempt for those who would trash it.
